Original thread.
Alright guys, I think it's high time we brought this baby back. Our other one didn't turn out as expected, but whatever. We'll just have to make this one extra-awesome to make up for it, y'know?
We've gained a few new artists since our last attempt at this, so let's review what an Artworm is, shall we?
Now that we're all familiar with what it is exactly that we're working on, let's discuss a few rules and whatnot:
SIGNING UP:
Sign up will be a little more complicated this time around. I've created a group specifically for the Artworm. Here's the link:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/group.php?groupid=705
It's an invite-only, so you're going to have to request an invitation in this thread. Everyone is allowed to join in the fun, so don't be afraid to request an invitation. But be warned; once you accept the invitation, there's no backing out. Other members included in the Artworm will be relying on you to do your part. An Artworm is a team project, so teamwork is mandatory.
The deadline for joining will be Jan. 7, 2009. That gives you a full week to request an invitation.
HOW IT WORKS:
An Artworm is a complicated process, and at times can be a little confusing. Here's how this is going to play out:
A list of all participants will be written out, the order of which will be determined by invitations accepted. The first person on the list will have no later than one week to create a tag (see speculations for more information on this). While this is going on, that person and the next person on the list have the option of discussing the piece with each other. This way, the next person to go will have an idea of how to make their piece flow with the previous one, giving them a head start. Once the first person finishes, he/she will post it in the group AND PM me a copy. At this time, the week long time limit begins for the next person, and they begin their own tag. Now, with the next person working on their piece, they too have the option of discussing it with the third person on the list, and so on. This cycle will be repeated until the end of the list, at which time we'll either call it quits or continue with the process, depending on how the Artworm is looking/how we're feeling about it.
SPECULATIONS:
We're going to try something different this time around. Instead of the massive canvas we were forced to work with last time, we're going to be working with signature-sized pieces. I know LPs aren't a strong point for some people, so why force them upon everyone? The minimum dimensions will be 370x150, maximum 400x150 if needed.
It appears that most people were against this idea, so sizes for individual pieces are now 600x450, maximum 650x450 if space is an issue.
Also, try to make your tag flow with the previous one in the worm. Fortunately, there's a tutorial that covers this located here (credit to CME for providing the link).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I've created the group to make things a little more organized. After entries are sent to me via PM, they will also be posted IN THE GROUP ONLY. Please don't post any entries in this thread.
Also, I've created a deviantART account solely for the Artworm so we don't run into the same size issue as we did last time. When you PM me your addition to the Artworm, I will be responsible for updating the worm and posting the latest version on dA, along with your addition to it as a separate "deviation". I doubt any of use will run into any resizing issues, seeing as we're using 370x150 canvas', but I didn't want to take any chances. Anything can go wrong.
Here is the link to the dA account:

And here is a preview of the Artworm so far (I'll be updating as needed):

So, there you have it! Like I said, you've only got one week to sign up, so let's get crackin', little ones.
